Special Report: Ex-refinery prices

RIO DE JANEIRO – Aiming to clarify the composition of fuel prices and better inform society about various aspects related to the theme, EPE launches a special report on Brazilian ex-refinery prices. Knowing the process of formation of fuel prices is the first step to analyze the real reasons behind its oscillations or even its stability in the face of expectations of reduction. In Brazil, the fuel price for the final consumer is essentially composed of the gross margin of distributors and resellers, taxes, the cost of adding biofuels (when mixed) and the ex-refinery price.

This report aims to describe the composition of the ex-refinery price of oil products, which represents only a portion of the price charged at the service stations. Ex-refinery price is the price of oil products sold by refineries (when produced in the country) or exiting the terminal (when imported), less, in both cases, taxes and subsidies. The ex-refinery price comprises the costs related to the import of the product or the purchase of inputs and the producer / refining cost structure, in addition to the profit margin of the producer or importer
